The videos here were made in May 2007, when Nigel Rundstrom was a guest in Kit Laybourne’s course, The Producer’s Craft. The tapes were shot and divided into short segments by Karl Mendonca. We appreciate Mr. Rundstrom’s courtesy in providing access to his observations about the global marketplace. It turns out his remarks were particularly prescient vis-à-vis the ground shift triggered by the release of Apple’s iPhone just a few weeks after these remarks were recorded.
